Package: libpng
Version: 1.2.8rel-5
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch, d-i
Let's call this an important wishlist bug (important for Debian Installer
anyway :-)
Please add the following line to your shlibs file:
udeb: libpng12 0 libpng12-0-udeb (>= 1.2.8rel)
This will allow dpkg/debhelper to properly set the dependencies for udebs
that depend on libpng.
Please see #345472 and #345475 for further info on this.
It would be very much appreciated if this change could be implemented
soon.
The attached patch implements the necessary changes:
- add --add-udeb option for dh_makeshlibs which autogenerates the
udeb: lines for the shlibs file
- this requires debhelper 5.0.22
- add the udeb line also to debian/libpng12-0.shlibs as this currently
overrules whatever is generated by dh_makeshlibs [1]
- drop the Provides: libpng12-0
I've also updated debian/compat to level 5, in line with the debhelper
dependency.
I've checked the debdiff for the libpng12-0 deb and udeb against current
versions and there were no unexpected changes.
TIA,
Frans Pop
[1] To be honest I fail to see why you include that file at all: if I
remove it, the generated shlibs is identical to the one you include.
Packaging error?
